Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 153: Strange Element

"She can't be serious, can she?", asked Greg with shock and looked at the zigzagging flashes among the woods.

Watching as Joe was easily maneuvering here and there without exploding onto the trees made Greg to calm down a bit and think.

"If he can do it, I can do it too.", said Greg and looked at the Typhoon Beast and the fairy.

"You guys go up and watch from the sky. If you notice anything amiss in the proximity, you warn me instantly. Got it?"

"GRRR!"

"Yes..."

Both the fairy and the tiger nodded in understanding, but when the two looked at each other Greg could feel the hostility in both of their gazes.

"Calm down you two. You are not enemies, but allies. So go and do what I asked. Please.", said Greg with a serious expression.

The little fairy, who was around Greg the most knew that he was right, so as a result she just pouted slightly and flew on top of the tiger's forehead.

"Let's... Go..."

Feeling the gentle pat on its head, the tiger growled quietly with dissatisfaction, but still jumped up high into the sky and stayed floated above the trees.

Greg saw that they finally did what he asked for, nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze back at Jie and the Light Creature.

"Then let's try it.", said Greg calmly and without any hesitation he activated his light element.

Inside his body, the fifth cycle changed instantly. While the color of it turned shining white light that covered Greg's body on the outside too, Greg could feel that flow's speed inside the cycle accelerated to a frightening height.

If the First Flow's speed was an average sports car, then this element was like the fastest train in the world. The two speed was simply on two different levels.

"Let's go.", said Greg quietly and after leaning a bit forward, he burst forward.

*BAM!*

While making the earth below his feet to form wide cracks, Greg's figure appeared before the very first tree under a millisecond.

*Crack!*

However, Greg knew this would happen, so as a result he smashed his right leg into the ground and jumped to the left, making his body to fly toward the next tree with his accelerated speed in an instant.

"Again!"

*Crack!*

Shoving now his other leg powerfully into the dirt to avoid the second tree, Greg knew that this will be even harder than he thought.

"But unfortunately, there is no stopping now.", thought Greg and with a determined expression, he moved forward, while his speed accelerated even further.

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

One loud sound after another, Greg's shiny figure was zigzagging among the trees, approaching Joe and the chasing Creature with insanely fast velocity.

However, for some reason, Greg found something very strange.

Even though his speed was quickening to the point where the things around him should have turned blurry, this didn't happen.

Everything around him was as clear as day, but this wasn't why Greg was confused.

Next to the fact that his sight was just as good when he would normally walk, the scenery around him looked slower than usual.

Normally, when someone was moving with fast speed, then the sight around them would move fast and pass by in an instant.

However, for some reason, this wasn't happening with Greg at all. Even though his body moved insanely fast, everything around him moved slow. The faster his speed went, the slower his surroundings became in his eyes.

"What the hell? This doesn't make any sense at all!", thought Greg with confusion as he avoided another tree with terrifying speed, but because of the strange phenomenon, he could easily avoid it.

Furthermore, what was even more confusing for Greg that the light on his body started to expand, turning a few meters around Greg just as shiny as him.

However, everything has its disadvantages too.

Greg knew that out of the six elements he could control, the light element was the hardest to use.

It wasn't because the light element was so complicated, but because it's the pressure that puts on the body. The faster Greg moved and used this power, the more pressure and pain his power needed to bear.

And because the sport was constantly advancing, this pain only worsened as time went on.

"I need to hurry.", said Greg with an expressionless face and chased after Joe.

While three lights moved here and there with the speed that was hard to see, the fairy and the tiger were floating high up in the air, looking here and there, looking for other life forms.

Just as the fairy looked around and was made sure that no one was in the proximity, suddenly a woman's voice sounded in her ear.

"What are you looking for, little one?"

"!"

"Grrr!!"

Flying away in an instant to increase the distance, both the Typhoon Beast and the fairy looked surprised by the fact that someone could sneak that close to them, even though they were high on guard.

"Haha, don't be like this. I was just simply asking a question.", said Mistress of Fortune as she looked at the two Soul Creature's hostile gazes.

Yes. The woman was Eliana, while on her side, an expressionless man was gently floating. He was naturally Zane.

The fairy recognizing the two calmed down and patted the tiger's head to calm down too.

"Oh?"

Eliana was pleasantly surprised by this act of her because she also knew that Soul Creatures didn't have memory. To recognize her, it just showed how unique the little fairy really was.

"It seems that pirate told the truth. There really exist such Soul Creature's.", said Eliana with a curious gaze, and a small while later she asked, "Where is your owner?"

The fairy hearing the question looked down and pointed forward.

"He... Is... There..."

"I see. Tha-, wait, what!? You can talk?", asked Eliana with great surprise and looked at the fairy with surprise, not believing that she just heard a Soul Creature talk.

And it wasn't just her who showed great surprise, but Zane on her side too. He had an uncaring face almost every time, but hearing the fairy talk, made him surprised too.

"Amazing!", said Eliana with awe and wanted to examine the fairy closer, when suddenly a huge explosion sounded below them.

*BOOM!*

Turning their gazes to see what just happened, they saw as below their feet a blinding light moved suddenly exploded with such speed that was almost hard to even with their eyes.

Wherever the light went, only a huge crack remained behind his track, showing that whoever it was that moved had an insane amount of momentum currently.

However, this wasn't the most shocking fact they saw, but the fact that even with such speed the light was moving as easily among the dense forest as fish in the sea.

"Is that... Him?", asked Eliana with shock, as she saw Greg's light element for real for the very first time.

She saw it before in the tournament before the accident happened, but that time when he used it, he wasn't like this.

At that time his speed was fast too, but not this fast. And also currently there was something that made Eliana feel that something has changed.

"Hmm..."

While both the Soul Creatures and the two adults were looking down from the sky, Greg has finally caught up with Joe and the Creature.

*Schreeeaacch!!*

Noticing Greg behind its back, the Light Creature stopped chasing Joe and with a deafening scream, it burst forward Greg.

In an instant that looked like teleportation, the creature appeared before Greg and slashed at his body with its huge claws.

However, at this time, Greg was surprised to see that when the creature's claws came into the proximity of his light, the whole arm of it slowed down, even more, making Greg avoid it as easily as breathing fresh air.

"Too slow!", said Greg and with a spin of his body, he slashed at the creature's head with Shapeless in hand.

*Swish!*

"Did you see that?", asked Eliana seriously after seeing just what happened.

"Yeah. I did.", answered Zane calmly and continued, "But he missed the core."

And just as Zane said, the moment Greg's weapon passed through the creature's body, Greg saw that he missed the core only by an inch.

However, because of this that he missed, the creature had an opportunity and sliced toward Greg's head.

Unfortunately, it was still inside Greg's light, making its attack very slow, even though it was normally very fast.

"So the light element can make my body accelerate while making my proximity slower by this light. Strange element but it is also interesting."

As he thought about this, Greg evaded the assault from the creature just as easily as he first did, and accelerating his speed to the maximum he attacked back.

Or at least that was what he wanted to, but couldn't.

He couldn't because the moment his body started to move with the fastest velocity he ever used, suddenly the white light around him and his body vanished, making his speed to turn back to normal again.

"Huh?"
